I had the VZ grips on my 1911 for awhile. I didn't like them as they were too smooth for my liking. I have replaced them with Wilson's new "Starburst" grips and they are the best I've ever used.

I'm looking for a set that look cool but also have good gripping ability without being so aggressive they tear you're hand up after a couple mags,I think I might be leaning toward the "operator" model or maybe "Gatorbacks"

I like the Gatorbacks on full size guns, on the smaller guns, even the Kimber Pro in .40 I had, the Gatorbacks did get a little abrasive which is why I went to the 320s later on.

On 5" all steel gun, I've got no complaints. I haven't gotten to feel a pair of the operators, but Bud White has some and spoke highly of them when I asked him for his opinions. The Operators come in either G10 or micarta.
